I can't wait!!! For those of you that weren't around when the game released, this type of customization is what we all Day 1 pirates have been playing for! Maybe for some, it isn't a big deal, but for people that love the game like me, having a ship that I feel is unique is something that is finally worth of grinding
it was supposed to be the first update but the game had of lack of content in the endgame problems back then and so it was pushed back so long and only know they're ready

Hey sea of thieves crew, as always you did a great job again! Really love how everything works and still finding out new things about the updates like i can take chairs from islands?! Keep on going like this.
Merrik's Jacket is one of the big ones for me on the levels themselves. Been wanting that for a long time. Too bad I don't have the tattoos, but still I have wanted it for a long time.
Curious how milestone progress will work if you're sailing with a friend and you both have your own separate captain ships but you just happen to be sailing on their ship for that session.
Seems like milestones are basically commendations but with stats. Think it will all be individual except for selling loot and how the game handles killing enemies with others. Like you personally dug up treasure, caught fish, captured that pig ect ect.
Well you know how when you load into a session or you start a session and the game names someone captain. I think that's how it'll work, whoever captain
"We brought Updates that were free" "To those who sailed the sea" Though there's always more potencial within." "And as this song will spell out" "There's plenty to sing about" "Now that you can finally be a captain." "Can you imagine, owning your own ship?" "Decorated with what you acquire."

"*CHORUS* Sooooooo coooome set sail as a pirate captain!!!" "Our time is almost up as we leave" "If you want to be a pirate captaaaaaaaaaaaain!!!" "Come do it in Season Seven of Sea of Thieves."
No they do not basically just sneakily resetting everyone by having old veteran players despite having done more, start at the exact same spot as a new player whilst disguising the same exact commendations previously done as ‘milestones’
@@Thorumsu if they can break a promise of not having 4 seasons a year but instead the driest content we’ve seen in a while for almost half a year I can tell people not to get their hopes up on this lacklustre update
@@astrorialunaris idk about the decoration part but in the trailer it shows it at 2:26 with the ancient scales starting at class/grade 1, it would be safe to assume that each fish would get its own trophy decoration once you collected a certain amount of a certain fish, hopefully most of these will be unlocked retroactively because I know the people who fully completed hunters call will be losing their minds if they have to fish all over again
This is awesome, but I think restricting renaming your ship to a Pirate Emporium purchase is a fairly bad idea. People either won't purchase a ship for a long time out of fear of giving it a bad name, or they'll waste their one free shot the first time and regret what they go with. It should be like pets, where you can rename it whenever you wish at a shipwright I think.
Ancient coins are technically free as long as the name change doesn't cost 2000 ancient coins. I like it as it makes you think more of what you name it and prevents constant changes.
This way you actually have to give it some thought and refrain from calling your ship The Poop Deck or The Maidenless Voyage.. ok no one take those, I might just do that.
Looks great! I really hope in the future we could get these challenges for trinkets also go for ship cosmetics. Because I’d like to have 1-2 sets in gold and then 1-2 challenge sets you have to complete a challenge for before paying gold for. That way, I want a magma grail set? I have to do 25 devils roar Athena’s quests or something that makes the set unique or hard to get. Because Sot is really missing those challenge sets as not every season gives you missions or a tall tale to complete. :/
I have one Question. Does your Crew level their Milestones simultaneously with the Owner of the Ship, or do u have to now do everything four Times (because every body needs to buy thier own ship) so everybody can get the unlockable Cosmetics and Stuff ?
Since they showed “pirate milestones” and “ship milestones” I think that whatever you or your crew does, will be only tied to that ship and pirate, so I’m guessing if you aren’t the captain currently, but get on your ship after, the pirate milestones will save, but not the ship ones, since you were on a different captained ship. If that makes any sense
@@ty_tgm you right, ship milestones and its unlockables are for that one ship only. If you play on your friends ship, you dont get rewarded and you have to do the milesstones again on your own ship to unlock what ever...
The pirate milestones are for you no matter whos captained ship you sail on and the ship milestones are for your ship. So 1 time for the pirate but 4 for the ship.
YES I LOVE THIS!!! im so thankful for making loot moving easier i cant tell you how many times i just dont want to even turn in loot because it takes forever!
Definitely best update so far, so many things we wanted from launch plus more! Sovereign thing seems interesting so we'll see how that pans out. Definitely going to make a video about this one.
Amazing update! Great to see some some drastic changues in the good way. Now we need a third person, at least just for walking or run, not necesary every action on the game but will be cool if you actually can see your character with his skin or style. Love this game, im happy to see the developers are adding and evolving things
Now all you have to worry about is trying to make outposts seem more like mutual ground. To where you could see one or two ships parked there and still go to drop off your self. It would make out posts seem more alive. And imagine the shenanigans that could happen.
Looks amazing, thank you devs for the hard work and dedication, and continuous updates! That said... Can we please get a wildlife update?? I'd love to see schools of fish when you jump in the deep ocean, or even whales!! Maybe even other areas if you guys could manage it, like snowy ice islands to oppose the ashen islands. Or just big towns like the pirates missions had, I'd love a huge npc populated area to be like the "main" area on the map
@@sealover7134 There is answer in the vid itself -- just as you can change your pirate's looks, you can change ship's name in Pirate Emporium. So choose your name wisely
i love the quality of life updates here but i wish these were more of an addition than the main focuss. What i'm personally really looking for in SOT is new open world challenges like the meg and kraken because both of these are rare spawns and the skeleton ships are just about the only NPC sea encounter you'll find. ( asside from players of course ) I think more enemy types and sea monsters will benefit the game well and i'm hoping to see them soon. But the update is cool can't wait to name my ship!
You are not serious about megs and kraken being rare spawn? Kraken attacks me almost everytime when I log in to game and leave the dock. Megs are so common it gets annoying sometimes not being able to sail anywhere without encountering at least one meg.
@@TheSanezu me and my mates started playing this game again for about a month now and we haven’t even seen one kraken? What the hell are you on about ‘kraken attacks are almost every time’ are we even playing the same game? 😂megs are still pretty rare as well, we’ve only encountered 3 out of the month we’ve been playing together. I think new events would be great! Not just more events in the sea but more wildlife as well to make the sea more alive because that’s the only downside to SoT atm, in the ocean itself.. it’s just too bare. You fall off the ship and there’s just nothing around you but water? Where’s the jellyfish? Where’s the turtles? Whales? Dolphins? Gosh, even where is the fish? There’s just nothing and ruins the beauty of the game sometimes
@@TheGamingOdyssey456 How the heck that is possible? Now I'm starting to think kraken has something against me because doesn't matter am I playing solo or with friends. 😂 Kraken attacks only if there is no world events going on so if you want to fight it then go sail in deep waters when there is no world events (skelly fleet, forts, ashen winds etc). For me megs are too common. Then again I spend most of my time sailing in deep waters where they can spawn and not near any land. There's also few spots where megs will definitely spawn if someone didn't kill it yet. Two such spots are south from Plunder Outpost and north-west of Golden Sands Outpost. There's more of course, but I won't write a list 😂 I agree we need more wildlife.
Bro I’m so hyped for this update. Can’t wait to buy my own ship. I’ve been wanting to do that forever. Rare, please let us name our pirates and add a strawhat with a red-ribbon please
I would be great for future updates, when you can build your own island together with your crew. Its randomly spawnt on the map. On the Island, you can create your own house and build other buildungs like tavern. This would be a great reason to grind this game for long time.
@@owenmoore3136 You also had you own island in Black Flag. It was great to unlock all the buildings. It would be great if SoT will get something like this.
This update is in my opinion a slap in the face for people who grinded out the game. I kinda wished some of the progression you saved from previous season would apply here (they do track everything u did in the game, at the end of the year you can see everything u did to this point). But no, we have to do everything all over again. I think this update is only nice for newer players. Guess i'm just going to finish the season pass and drop the game and wait for the next season.
Season 7 is the best season, but I have a suggestion... why can't we save the ship's resources (wood, food and cannonsa) while we can save the ship's skin ...etc. Can that be changed in the next updates?
Love that the scars are visible troughout sessions. But one thing that i don't understand. Why would anybody sell to any regular faction now? If we can all just quicksell for free? Edit: I obviously didnt pay enough attention. This is only available to captain ships. So i guess that makes sense now :)
Well, only Captains can use the Sovereigns. Players that only sail on a normal ship still need to use the normal npcs. Also the Sovereigns dont work with the Reapers.
Wdym? they aren't adding any new mechanics, they are adding cosmetics and the ability to name your ship. There isn't any new voyage or content in this update.
Really cool that you can soon add more decoration to your ship, what I still wish for is Lord Cutler Beckett as a skin, he's the only one who still lacks life from Pirates.
The main thing I'm happy about is the reasonable gold costs for the ships - I was afraid Rare might push it up into the millions, but thankfully it seems they've found other ways to add "gold sinks" into this update.
About 4 seasons too late after these things were requested 6 seasons ago. I literally could not get my friends to log in to try this out if I held them at blunderbuss-point. Oh well. Glad you lot finally got around to adding some QoL that players wanted, hope the ones who still play enjoy it. 👍
@@isaaccisneros9778 lol got the day 1 eyepatch and the launch crew eye of reach if that tells you anything. I’ve done plenty of pvp and the only issues are hitbox registration but when you have player models of various sizes it’s hard to make a consistent hitbox between large and small characters
@@hoobidibahentertainment6496 Hmm, some people have played the game since start and doesn't mean they are any good at PVP. Hitbox is an issue, and right now the short spawn time which doesnt scales up with crew size (horrible for solo slooping). double gunning is an issue when it is exploited badly with animation canceling, for example, blunder-sniper, they shoot blunder, you get pushed back, they animation cancel, shoot sniper, you dont even get a chance to move. And the list goes on.
As someone that tought this game was boring as F*** not to long ago I can say I judged it to soon. I've been playing the last month consistently and I am really enjoying it. I am fairly new so when I say consistently I mean after work so I'm still not that far on but the more I play the more I realise how wrong I was at first. This game is not call of duty you can't go in expecting all out action like I did originally, its more about the experience you get on the quests it's really magical I feel when you solve one of the many puzzles. Anyways I'm a solo sloop so I'm not great at pvp but this is the only game I play lately and I have a ps5 and used to think it was superior before this so now my ps5 is gathering dust.
I had almost the exact same thing happen, where I got a new Xbox because the old one was broken but then my brother bought himself a pc and I've hardly touched my Xbox since. don't play much sot anymore though since I did basically everything there was to do, hoping to return after the vacation though. the thought that they might genuinely add content into the game instead of only endless cosmetics that I will never get my hands on, is the only thing that keeps me going, when talking about SoT that is.
@@joeykyriacou7287 it's good but I feel its something you have to get used to, then again there is still alot of players like about 20k ish last I checked so the game is doing very well. I won't lie I am more of a PlayStation guy though this is the first year I've owned 2 consoles at once and I hate the fact that xbox hasn't got much to play for me but sea of thieves is the one I go to the most often even out of my playstation. I still prefer my playstation simply down to more options and better games but sea of thieves is the lifeline for my xbox I really like it and can't wait to see what else the future holds for it.
A lot of cool stuff. I had hoped the decorations would be things you could find in the world rather than based on achievements, but it still looks interesting.
@@thewizard7396 i hope it turns out that way, maybe in the tavern i hope they add like a paper of the current top ten pirate captains and I also would like them to say the name of their ship and maybe a picture of their sale, that can be really interesting it's like meeting the legendary pirate across all-lands
@@catstudio350 Because he wants to feel special. Its a completely backwards, selfish and stupid idea. He probably grinded for it and now that other people caught up (yaknow, since they have lives irl) he doesn't feel so important anymore.
@@catstudio350 because pirate legends basically get no perks, athena quests suck, thieves haven runs suck, legend of the veil is the only okay thing. The rest is just stupid cosmetics.
4:07 so... i did the math and with them being at sea for 42 days (1 sea of thieves day cycle is 48 minutes) meaning.. THEY HAVE BEEN AT SEA FOR 33.6 REAL LIFE HOURS. AND HAVE ONLY ACCOMPLISHED 17 NAUTICAL MILES, 13,000 GOLD, 8 QUESTS, AND HAVE ONLY CAUGHT 4 FISH.
@@verex6247 That's true but the new features could prove to be truly game changing especially towards PVP as well as giving the game a little bit of a new feel to it seeing that right at the outpost you have quite a few new things to explore. It can also account for some interesting moments amongst your crew and encounters with other crews.
Can we get some regular pirate stuff? The magical glowing cartoon stuff is fun but I'd kill for a dark brown tricorne hat. A little leather, steel and wood would be appreciated!
I can’t wait to be a respected captain of my crew of 1.
Saaaaame. Been a solo slooper since day one because screw open crew lol
Same here mate, long live the solo sloop.

Question:
Do milestones track things that we did before the update?
I'd love to see the stats on just how far I've sailed these past few years!
No they do not basically just sneakily resetting everyone by having old veteran players despite having done more, start at the exact same spot as a new player whilst disguising the same exact commendations previously done as ‘milestones’
@@maxinator568 Damn man, thanks for signing the NDA.
I’m happy that it didn’t carry over because it gives me stuff to do
@@Thorumsu if they can break a promise of not having 4 seasons a year but instead the driest content we’ve seen in a while for almost half a year I can tell people not to get their hopes up on this lacklustre update
@@captaingomez849 the same stuff we’ve already done though 😂
I'm so happy that we are getting so many ways to decorate our ships and all the other small details in this new update
Yeah no, you will need to do grade 5 level grinds to get each decoration :))) So for example fish 250 x type of fish to get a trophy of x fish
@@flore6765 based on what info? did they say that in the trailer? have they said anything about what unlocks what? no? then shut up
@@astrorialunaris idk about the decoration part but in the trailer it shows it at 2:26 with the ancient scales starting at class/grade 1, it would be safe to assume that each fish would get its own trophy decoration once you collected a certain amount of a certain fish, hopefully most of these will be unlocked retroactively because I know the people who fully completed hunters call will be losing their minds if they have to fish all over again
@@astrorialunaris You'll see :)))
@@flore6765 look at the video, there will be every kind of task, starting from the easiest to the more difficult
This is awesome, but I think restricting renaming your ship to a Pirate Emporium purchase is a fairly bad idea. People either won't purchase a ship for a long time out of fear of giving it a bad name, or they'll waste their one free shot the first time and regret what they go with. It should be like pets, where you can rename it whenever you wish at a shipwright I think.
They're trying to make it harder to change so people really think about their names and dont make them offensive or rude.
Tough luck
Ancient coins are technically free as long as the name change doesn't cost 2000 ancient coins. I like it as it makes you think more of what you name it and prevents constant changes.
This way you actually have to give it some thought and refrain from calling your ship The Poop Deck or The Maidenless Voyage.. ok no one take those, I might just do that.
@@thataintfalc0 too late, the Maidenless Voyage is already sailing the seas
Looks great! I really hope in the future we could get these challenges for trinkets also go for ship cosmetics. Because I’d like to have 1-2 sets in gold and then 1-2 challenge sets you have to complete a challenge for before paying gold for. That way, I want a magma grail set? I have to do 25 devils roar Athena’s quests or something that makes the set unique or hard to get. Because Sot is really missing those challenge sets as not every season gives you missions or a tall tale to complete. :/
I'm a very casual player, but I think it's really cool how Rare keeps updating this game and pumping out fresh content for it.
They forgot the biggest feature. Holding the map closer to your face! Makes big island digs not an absolute pain!
they already announced that though, not much reason to bring it up again
Well if you got used to playing the game it wouldn't trouble you.
I have one Question. Does your Crew level their Milestones simultaneously with the Owner of the Ship, or do u have to now do everything four Times (because every body needs to buy thier own ship) so everybody can get the unlockable Cosmetics and Stuff ?
Good question. Dont know but it would be very unlike SoT not to make it so
I think so.. othetwise everyone would want to be captain
Since they showed “pirate milestones” and “ship milestones” I think that whatever you or your crew does, will be only tied to that ship and pirate, so I’m guessing if you aren’t the captain currently, but get on your ship after, the pirate milestones will save, but not the ship ones, since you were on a different captained ship. If that makes any sense
@@ty_tgm you right, ship milestones and its unlockables are for that one ship only. If you play on your friends ship, you dont get rewarded and you have to do the milesstones again on your own ship to unlock what ever...
The pirate milestones are for you no matter whos captained ship you sail on and the ship milestones are for your ship. So 1 time for the pirate but 4 for the ship.
YES I LOVE THIS!!! im so thankful for making loot moving easier i cant tell you how many times i just dont want to even turn in loot because it takes forever!
Definitely best update so far, so many things we wanted from launch plus more! Sovereign thing seems interesting so we'll see how that pans out. Definitely going to make a video about this one.
This looks like it will be the best update since the Anniversary update! I'm pumped!
@jeon vlya Fully agree!
This is gonna be one of my favourite updates since anniversiary!
It’s amazing to see how far this game has come
Grats on season seven, guys! 😘
"You can sell th notebook for gold and reputation"
+300 gold added
Amazing update! Great to see some some drastic changues in the good way. Now we need a third person, at least just for walking or run, not necesary every action on the game but will be cool if you actually can see your character with his skin or style. Love this game, im happy to see the developers are adding and evolving things
"You'll same get the same gold as you would have"
*Gets 400 gold for Villainous Bounty Skull*
Yeah that was odd… shouldnt be less than 750
Reapers give a lot more gold, and they accept all treasure too :/
Might be price nerf?
@@goldendj9700 if so, RIP Order of Souls people. they already get the least cash 💵
They shouldnt do things easier for players.... the longer it takes to sell... more chances to get attacked.
It's AMAZING to see the difference from the first few updates to now!
I like how you can finally buy bait! It’s gonna make the fishing grind so much easier
Now all you have to worry about is trying to make outposts seem more like mutual ground. To where you could see one or two ships parked there and still go to drop off your self. It would make out posts seem more alive. And imagine the shenanigans that could happen.
you already know I'm getting the yellowest ship cosmetics I can find and naming my ship "Banana Float"
Looks amazing, thank you devs for the hard work and dedication, and continuous updates!
That said...
Can we please get a wildlife update?? I'd love to see schools of fish when you jump in the deep ocean, or even whales!!
Maybe even other areas if you guys could manage it, like snowy ice islands to oppose the ashen islands. Or just big towns like the pirates missions had, I'd love a huge npc populated area to be like the "main" area on the map
How many frames per minute do you need 3 4 that good enough 🤣
I don't think whales would last very long in an ocean with a Megalodon...or a Kraken, for that matter.
@@sealover7134 without large prey the reverse is true; how do the meg and kraken last without a large prey animal? 🤔
@@DuelingDexperts What do you mean?? WE are the prey! XD
@@DuelingDexperts Lore wise, the kraken devour our good friends and troll merfolk.
This AWESOME season comes out on me birthday! Best thing EVAAARRR!😁
Its been so fun testing this season in insiders, cant wait for it to be released into the main game!
What happens to your captain ship if you sink?
@@creedsmack I would assume it comes back like it usually does.
So, can you change your ship's name more than once, or is it a one time thing?
@@sealover7134 There is answer in the vid itself -- just as you can change your pirate's looks, you can change ship's name in Pirate Emporium. So choose your name wisely
How is the captain chosen? If 3 people join a open brig, how is the captain selected?
Hats off to Rare yet again for only continuing to make this game better all the time!
i love the quality of life updates here but i wish these were more of an addition than the main focuss.
What i'm personally really looking for in SOT is new open world challenges like the meg and kraken because both of these are rare spawns and the skeleton ships are just about the only NPC sea encounter you'll find. ( asside from players of course )
I think more enemy types and sea monsters will benefit the game well and i'm hoping to see them soon.
But the update is cool can't wait to name my ship!
You are not serious about megs and kraken being rare spawn? Kraken attacks me almost everytime when I log in to game and leave the dock. Megs are so common it gets annoying sometimes not being able to sail anywhere without encountering at least one meg.
@@TheSanezu me and my mates started playing this game again for about a month now and we haven’t even seen one kraken? What the hell are you on about ‘kraken attacks are almost every time’ are we even playing the same game? 😂megs are still pretty rare as well, we’ve only encountered 3 out of the month we’ve been playing together. I think new events would be great! Not just more events in the sea but more wildlife as well to make the sea more alive because that’s the only downside to SoT atm, in the ocean itself.. it’s just too bare. You fall off the ship and there’s just nothing around you but water? Where’s the jellyfish? Where’s the turtles? Whales? Dolphins? Gosh, even where is the fish? There’s just nothing and ruins the beauty of the game sometimes
@@TheGamingOdyssey456 How the heck that is possible? Now I'm starting to think kraken has something against me because doesn't matter am I playing solo or with friends. 😂 Kraken attacks only if there is no world events going on so if you want to fight it then go sail in deep waters when there is no world events (skelly fleet, forts, ashen winds etc). For me megs are too common. Then again I spend most of my time sailing in deep waters where they can spawn and not near any land. There's also few spots where megs will definitely spawn if someone didn't kill it yet. Two such spots are south from Plunder Outpost and north-west of Golden Sands Outpost. There's more of course, but I won't write a list 😂 I agree we need more wildlife.
@@TheSanezu LMAO i wish i was your lobby's then i go entire playthroughs ( 5-8 hours ) daily without encountering either.
i hope the order of souls captain voages are better than the current ones
Bro I’m so hyped for this update. Can’t wait to buy my own ship. I’ve been wanting to do that forever. Rare, please let us name our pirates and add a strawhat with a red-ribbon please
Aye kaizoku!
Meh, would rather have a clown facepaint and a red striped shirt
@@thataintfalc0 Those are also great ideas they could make them in a pirate emporium badle. (But I prefer the strawhat.😁)
Even though it’s just me on my lonely sloop, I can now rightfully call myself captain of it! Now I just need a good name…
I've already got mine for the sloop. Not sure on the brig yet or the galley
Noah's arc
@@braydopaintrain4346 nice! That's roughly in the same realm of what I'm naming my sloop: The Disciple
you already know I'm getting a yellow paint job and naming my ship banana float
Captaincy went from sailing out of a Epic waterfall from your own pirate cove when starting the game, to being able to move around chairs on Islands 😅
Wasn't that meant to be an Athena addition?
Though it's been ages since I've heard about it last.
Wait I just realized that one of the sections for captain voyages is for Athena’s fortune. Dang that will be useful
Muchas gracias a los devs! Esta actualización realmente dio en el blanco! La personalización y progresion es lo que muchos esperábamos.
I would be great for future updates, when you can build your own island together with your crew. Its randomly spawnt on the map. On the Island, you can create your own house and build other buildungs like tavern. This would be a great reason to grind this game for long time.
Pirates don’t live on islands.
@@owenmoore3136 You also had you own island in Black Flag. It was great to unlock all the buildings. It would be great if SoT will get something like this.
I love it. Finally I can restore my ships paintwork without scuttling. That makes me real happy.
You have to pay though
@@ballooncoast848 it doesn’t seem too expensive.
@@ballooncoast848 eh it's like 1 captains chest, or half of one with an emissary
8 minutes of update showcase and not a single thing to complain about. Thank you.
Really great to see the developers taking feedback from players and actually implementing them!
Awesome update video and content as always, kudos to the great dev team 👏🏻
I am looking really forward for this update they have done really well 🙂
oh boy can't wait to see every "jo mama" "Slave ship" and "Black pearl wannabe" in the game XD
interesting choice...
@@bugsmith9751 soft?
@@verex6247 wut?
This update is in my opinion a slap in the face for people who grinded out the game. I kinda wished some of the progression you saved from previous season would apply here (they do track everything u did in the game, at the end of the year you can see everything u did to this point). But no, we have to do everything all over again. I think this update is only nice for newer players. Guess i'm just going to finish the season pass and drop the game and wait for the next season.
Im exited for the Captain logbooks
Season 7 is the best season, but I have a suggestion... why can't we save the ship's resources (wood, food and cannonsa) while we can save the ship's skin ...etc. Can that be changed in the next updates?
Love that the scars are visible troughout sessions. But one thing that i don't understand.
Why would anybody sell to any regular faction now?
If we can all just quicksell for free?
Edit: I obviously didnt pay enough attention. This is only available to captain ships. So i guess that makes sense now :)
Yeah. It's remarkably easy to acquire 200k gold if you're deliberately saving it up.
Well not free, it does require you to be a captain (have bought a ship).
it does give a little advantage to people trying to sell their chest of legends tho, since now they possess TWO Athena selling points
Well, only Captains can use the Sovereigns. Players that only sail on a normal ship still need to use the normal npcs. Also the Sovereigns dont work with the Reapers.
And I’d still get my emissary bonus?
So excited for this update, looks amazing although I wish there was more boses to battle but 🤷♀️
Hey i know i am late to this, but the fact that this update came the day just after my birthday, I was so happy :D
It is very impressive when you see that developers add to the game exactly those things, that you want to see!
This will drastically decrease the traditional viking funeral after a long day of sailing now that we have to pay for repairs 🤣
Right?! There goes my crews tradition lol
well, gold ain't that hard to come by tbh, so i guess you can still do that. after all, what is SOT without useless expenses ?
My new paint job will be "cannon hole"
This is one of the best updates ever for this game. So much new stuff, new mechanics, and I can’t wait!
Wdym? they aren't adding any new mechanics, they are adding cosmetics and the ability to name your ship. There isn't any new voyage or content in this update.
@@verex6247 facts
Very true! I’ve been looking forward to captaincy for a while so all these new major mechanics and new content is going to be great to dig into.
Naval battles knocking your interior decor about is a great touch.
I’ve been waiting for this for almost 7 seasons
Really cool that you can soon add more decoration to your ship, what I still wish for is Lord Cutler Beckett as a skin, he's the only one who still lacks life from Pirates.
Podia ter uma parte do mapa que poderia haver uma taberna onde todos os players se reunissem pra conversar recrutar, e pegar missões , e trocar itens
That's such a wholesome idea but it'll most likely get camped, so they can maybe turn off pvp for that area?
that would be great if they added it
This is definitely the best update ever, makes the game so much more refreshing so play!! Thank you Rare!
I bet this opinion changes in a few weeks. It’s a quality of life update marketed as a major update
The main thing I'm happy about is the reasonable gold costs for the ships - I was afraid Rare might push it up into the millions, but thankfully it seems they've found other ways to add "gold sinks" into this update.
About 4 seasons too late after these things were requested 6 seasons ago. I literally could not get my friends to log in to try this out if I held them at blunderbuss-point.
Oh well. Glad you lot finally got around to adding some QoL that players wanted, hope the ones who still play enjoy it. 👍
Really excited for this, especially that The only way you can get Captain‘s logbooks are pvp.
Not necessarily. If your ship sinks because of PvE elements, that log book would still be floating.
yep! it basically means captained ships cant say "i have no treasure!"
@@absentminded2057 technically true, but odds are if some one isnt there at the time, they wont get it before it sinks
We've come a long way since beta boys. This game is going to be remembered as one of the best
i would have loved this 2 or 3 years ago when this was announced
They toke so long for an update that only adds QOF and cosmetics 😂 worst devs.
The Cheek Spreader is about to set sail
Now if only they could fix the broken PvP.
The PVE content in this game is great!
How is the pvp broken?
the only part of pvp that is broken is hitreg, otherwise it seems pretty good to me
@@hoobidibahentertainment6496 I think you haven't played enough PVP if you are asking this. And also assume you dont do much solo sloop.
@@isaaccisneros9778 lol got the day 1 eyepatch and the launch crew eye of reach if that tells you anything. I’ve done plenty of pvp and the only issues are hitbox registration but when you have player models of various sizes it’s hard to make a consistent hitbox between large and small characters
@@hoobidibahentertainment6496 Hmm, some people have played the game since start and doesn't mean they are any good at PVP. Hitbox is an issue, and right now the short spawn time which doesnt scales up with crew size (horrible for solo slooping). double gunning is an issue when it is exploited badly with animation canceling, for example, blunder-sniper, they shoot blunder, you get pushed back, they animation cancel, shoot sniper, you dont even get a chance to move. And the list goes on.
As someone that tought this game was boring as F*** not to long ago I can say I judged it to soon. I've been playing the last month consistently and I am really enjoying it. I am fairly new so when I say consistently I mean after work so I'm still not that far on but the more I play the more I realise how wrong I was at first. This game is not call of duty you can't go in expecting all out action like I did originally, its more about the experience you get on the quests it's really magical I feel when you solve one of the many puzzles. Anyways I'm a solo sloop so I'm not great at pvp but this is the only game I play lately and I have a ps5 and used to think it was superior before this so now my ps5 is gathering dust.
I had almost the exact same thing happen, where I got a new Xbox because the old one was broken but then my brother bought himself a pc and I've hardly touched my Xbox since. don't play much sot anymore though since I did basically everything there was to do, hoping to return after the vacation though. the thought that they might genuinely add content into the game instead of only endless cosmetics that I will never get my hands on, is the only thing that keeps me going, when talking about SoT that is.
@@joeykyriacou7287 it's good but I feel its something you have to get used to, then again there is still alot of players like about 20k ish last I checked so the game is doing very well. I won't lie I am more of a PlayStation guy though this is the first year I've owned 2 consoles at once and I hate the fact that xbox hasn't got much to play for me but sea of thieves is the one I go to the most often even out of my playstation. I still prefer my playstation simply down to more options and better games but sea of thieves is the lifeline for my xbox I really like it and can't wait to see what else the future holds for it.
A lot of cool stuff. I had hoped the decorations would be things you could find in the world rather than based on achievements, but it still looks interesting.
I’m so ready to plunder as a captain and I only seen like the first 20 seconds
Selling at outposts will be soo much better now thank you soo much for this
5:18 just now realizing the pirate playing the drum is one of the pirates in the Thieves Haven memory with the Pirate Lord :O
The captains logbook is a interesting addition.
U can now grind to be the most feared ship with the best logbook stats on the sea of thieves.
that would be sick come to think of it. a way to create folklore and legend about other players in game.
@@thewizard7396 i hope it turns out that way, maybe in the tavern i hope they add like a paper of the current top ten pirate captains and I also would like them to say the name of their ship and maybe a picture of their sale, that can be really interesting it's like meeting the legendary pirate across all-lands
Kinda wish becoming a captain were locked behind pirate legend, but I’ll still take this update. It looks phenomenal!
Why do you wish it was exclusive to pirate legands

bro the difference can't be noticed unless you focus on it, which is really disappointing as we worked hard in the courage event for the boots.
4:07 so... i did the math and with them being at sea for 42 days (1 sea of thieves day cycle is 48 minutes) meaning.. THEY HAVE BEEN AT SEA FOR 33.6 REAL LIFE HOURS. AND HAVE ONLY ACCOMPLISHED 17 NAUTICAL MILES, 13,000 GOLD, 8 QUESTS, AND HAVE ONLY CAUGHT 4 FISH.
